XML supoorts international alphabete w/o much problem,. That's why we have a Russiand and an English version of the manual written in the same format (about 31 translations IIRC).

he referred to the php.net manual

Here is a random page from the French manual:

    http://pear.php.net/manual/fr/package.networking.net-ping.ping.php

There's a hell of a lot of English on that page. Here's another one; it's even worse (also from the nominal French translation): http://pear.php.net/manual/fr/package.authentication.auth.intro.php This does not make me enthusiastic about the current translation system.

This is what I tried to say in my previous posts , we need more people or an automation. It has nothing to do with the current system sorry. I appreciate your effort and I welcome your input, but saying that the current platform is not good enough and that this is the reason why we have no docs or little translation is, IMHO, really far from the truth.
